With Perry and Bachmann in the race poor Sarah Palin is a bit old ha and looking a little desperate.
She is being out-crazied by people who at least sound like they know what they are talking about. But I found this article I must have missed the first time around which captures her ignorance beautifully:
“Tina Fey’s caricature of Palin as an unprepared high-school student trying to bluff her way through an oral exam by mugging and flirting hit its mark not merely because of the genius of the mimicry, but because of its fundamentally accurate diagnosis of Palin as bullshit artist. Palin’s exuberant incoherence testifies to an unusually wide gulf between confidence and ability. She is proud of what she doesn’t know and contemptuous of those “experts” and “elitists” who are too knowledgeable to be trusted. This curious self-regard echoes through her book, Going Rogue, described by the critic Jonathan Raban as “a four-hundred-page paean to virtuous ignorance.”
Ah the good ol’ days with the devil you know.
